Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 F and have ready some ungreased baking sheets.
- Cream together the butter, shortening, brown sugar.
- Add egg, vanilla, almond extract and beat to combine.
- Add cake mix (and if you like, a bit of cinnamon), beating on lowest setting just enough to blend together with no dry bits (overmixing will toughen the dough); dough will be stiff.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in the nuts and dried fruits to blend well.
- Using a small meatball scoop, drop blobs of dough onto cookie sheets, spacing them out a bit as they will spread; I get 12 blobs per cookie sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes or until slightly golden; do not overbake.
- Let cool 1 minute on baking sheets, then remove carefully to wire racks to cool completely.
- Store in cookie tins; these won't keep terribly long, only a few days and no longer than 1 week, so if making in advance you might want to freeze them.
